What part don't you understand? If you do a 'uname -a';
Code:
uname -a
Linux amd64 2.6.24.5-smp #2 SMP Wed Apr 30 13:41:38 CDT 2008 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
shows the kernel information with the processor information.

Hi
I have recently bought a notebook Vostro 1000 (AMD Turion 64*2)and installed FC 7 on that.
So
grep flags /proc/cpuinfo is :->
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8legacy 3dnowprefetch ts fid vid ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8legacy 3dnowprefetch ts fid vid ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps
And uname -a is :->
Linux RAHEL 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
And according to what I got that CPU is 64 bit and kernel is 32 bit.
But if i do getconf LONG_BIT
I got 32
So i am confused i should rely on getconf or on lm in flags, about CPU(64 bit or 32 bit)
and what the meaning of both i686 and i386 in the output of uname -a,
or simply i should understand that as it does not contains x86_64(as it is) kernel installed is 32 bit.
So Could you please guide me to understand this.
Thanks.
